# How to make it:
01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

03 - Beat butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
04 - Add egg, milk, vanilla, and red food coloring to the butter mixture. Mix until fully incorporated.
05 - Gradually add dry ingredients to wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Fold in white chocolate chips.
06 - Beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla, beating until creamy. Fold in crushed Oreos. Refrigerate 10 minutes.
07 - Scoop 2-tablespoon portions of dough and flatten. Place 1 rounded teaspoon of Oreo filling in center, then fold dough around filling, sealing edges completely.
08 - Place stuffed dough balls on baking sheets 2 inches apart. Bake 11-12 minutes until edges are set and centers appear slightly soft.
09 - Cool on baking sheet 5 minutes, then transfer to wire rack to cool completely before serving.
# Expert suggestions:
01 -
- The moment you bite through that soft red exterior into the creamy Oreo filling is absolute magic
- These cookies manage to feel fancy and fun all at once, like dessert dressed up for a party
02 -
- Chill the filling first or it'll melt and ooze out while baking, I learned this the messy way
- Resist overbaking, these cookies continue cooking on the hot baking sheet and should stay slightly underdone in the center
03 -
- Roll the stuffed dough balls in extra crushed Oreos before baking for an even more dramatic look and texture
- If your dough feels too sticky, chill it for 15 minutes before scooping to make handling easier
